Life is a Banquet
Dec. 22nd, 2006 10:34 amHoliday packages are all sent. I got up with the sun yesterday and stumbled to the post office, somehow early enough to be the first person in line, waiting in the P.O. box lobby before the package desk cracked the gate. I read a book for 20 or so minutes, and then whoosh! Priority mail, and I'm outta there. A nice surprise.
A not-so-nice surprise was the unexpected rain I walked into leaving the post office for my fifteen-block walk home. But good luck is relative - the skies didn't open while I was trying to hump all the boxes, so I count myself lucky.
I also calorie-bombed our household yesterday by making chocolate zuccini bread, one loaf of which I hurriedly decided we need to give away, stat, to our landladies. This stuff is just plain evil. Especially smeared with a little creme fraiche. Evil.
By the way, the book I was reading in the post office was John Thorne's Simple Cooking. ( Read more... )
The holidays do bring out the shameless foodie in me. I love winter cooking, winter baking. I suppose I'll just have to learn to love habitually taking off the extra pounds I put on in the spring.
